Taking flight

On the subject of butterflies ... the fan flowers continue to attract a small number of species. The painted ladies waltz around the bees while the darts skip the light fandango. (The heat doesn't seem to perturb the insects, although it has clearly fried my brains.)



With luck, the last essential elements of the net (the damned bag) will arrive in the post tomorrow, so I can take close ups of the leaf-cutter bees. In the meantime, here's one of the painted ladies.
